Oh god no... Indiana Jones 5 a possibility

[kawaiiamethist]

Please no, I'm still in the process in blocking out the memory of Crystal Skull.

I think its a good thing....

Hear me out... The New indiana Jones film wasn't great... (the alien thing ruined it in my opinion) but just leaving the series like that is even worse. If they make one or 2 more there is a chance the series can be saved, the next films might be great and number 4 may have been just a bad bump. And then we can all be as happy as larry and love the whole Indy Series again (and Number 4 might not seem as bad).


As it is... the newest film feels like part of the old series but if they make 1 or 2 more bad films, I would consider them 2 different series (old and new) and could completely ignore the new ones, (Much like many people did with star wars, not me though, I liked the new ones, [and you can bash on/question that statement all you want]).

I didn't think Crystal Skull was that bad apart from Mutt. I mean its more Temple of Doom and the alien ending is bullshit but it was just resoundingly meh. It didn't hurt me.

But don't make another one. For the love of god.

That's a very good point, you just brightened up my day. That's a lot better than replacing the 4th one with a new better one.

Congratulations, you win the thread

you sir will pay for abusing my mind like that... I will remember this and one day soon, vengeance will be mine.

I have no idea what you're talking about... I'm pretty sure Last Crusade was the last Indy movie made. Right?

I just hope they don't do anything with that big, God-awful fan-fic I read, you know, 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?' *shivers*

 

[sam_savage1393]

Did you hear about the possibility of a fourth Spider-man movie? I don't know if I'm willing to watch either.

i was so heart broken with spidey 3, it had so much potential in my eyes.
any ideas if the original cast and crew will be onboard?

From what I've read, their scrapping Toby Maguire..
Smart move? I cannot say...
I say they should've just ended the whole series after three, no need for a new one.

 

[Jzolr0708]

Five bucks say LeBeuf (or how the hell you spell it) is the "New Indy"

"Mutt Jones"

If this happens....



All I can say is the following:


FLEEEEE!!!! RUN! QUICKLY, THE TERRIBLE HOLLYWOOD FRANCHISE MONSTER, IT'S COMING. OH GOD, ITS GOT INDY! RUN MARTY! RUN TO THE TIME MACHINE!

 

[Smagmuck_]

Well, we're screwed. I guess George and Steven broke out of prison...
Cookie for referance...

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Why more sequels, seriously? In The Last Crusade, he rode off into the fucking sunset with Sean Connery. That was a perfect way to end the series. Let it die. Even if they do make a new sequel and it is good, it will still have been horribly unnecessary. Let it die.

 

[cheese_wizington]

This time.

They are going into fucking space.

 

[weirdaljedifan2]

Speaking as someone who actually LIKED Crystal Skull, this is a stupid idea.

There has to be other ways to get money, like betting on MIchael Bay movies to be terrible but successful.

I can't take it anymore. Michael Bay [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.161340] was bad enough. But this is it. If this happens, Hollywood is going too far. They have to be stopped. If I want to watch any more characters who defined my childhood assassinated while my adult eyes watch in horror that is what Scooby Doo hentai is for.

Time for the revolution?

woah, whats the problem with a 5th film? i hope they make a 6th too

in the lost Ark we had [spoiler/] at the end of the film ghosts from a magic box, killing Nazi's[/spoiler]

in last crusade we had [spoiler/]invisible bridges and the actual cup of Mr Christ, aaaaand Indy's dad as a main character.[/spoiler]

how is an [spoiler/]alien skull and Indys son as a main character[/spoiler] any less believable or enjoyable than that?

take off your rose tinted nostalgia glasses and enjoy the adventure

God I am so fucking sick of you people thinking it's always because of nostalgia! Not only that but he didn't even say anything about the aliens and crystal skull ruining the movie either.

The first 3 movies did those fantasy scene's really well, it was amazing and something that will stay with you for the rest of your life while the spaceship and aliens in the end of the 4th was not only hardly interesting, it also didn't make any bloody sense. You got what's her face bringing back all their belongings expecting a reward and they obliterate her or something.

If you think it's a good movie, fine, but don't start targeting people who don't like it and use that shitty excuse of an argument.

actually, the OP didn't give much of a reason for hating it.
you made some interesting points about the 4th film, but I can't really be bothered discussing it because God I am so fucking sick of you people with a shitty attitude.

Good then be a sissy. Also read it through like I had a happy tone, hypocrite.

You can target people but don't use that shit-hole argument. It's always used in these threads and it may work on people who just say "oh I did't see it because it had this and this in it" but otherwise it's just missing the point.

"be a sissy?" what is it about internet anonymity that makes people such as yourself feel it's appropriate to be so rude? i thought i'd escaped this level of immaturity when i swapped facebook groups for escapist.

Just tried re-reading yours with a happy tone, still cant see you being fucking sick of people like me as friendly.
at the end of the day, all i wanted was an enjoyable debate, not rantings from someone such as yourself who finds it far easier to be offensive towards me than friendly. at the end of the day, i've not been on the escapist long, this is this first time this topic has come up since i joined less than 2 months ago. also as i said the OP never went into the reasons they didnt like the 4th film.

Allow me to explain why the 4th film was bad.

You see, I am a WoW player, and we WoW players are very fimiliar with one term in particular, thanks to the folks at Blizz:

RetCon.


And thats what the 4th Indiana Jones movie was. A RetCon. It took everything about the story and trampled it underneath its big stompy boots. The plot wasn't good, and it took the whole "Slightly Realistic" part of Indiana Jones and placed a big "ALIENS R 4 REALZ" poster over it.

I understand some people liked it, but to many, it was the butchering of a story we all loved as children.

Well done, you witnessed the exact moment George Lucas became a sell out doush bag instead of a legit director like in the earlier films he was involved in. But in-turn he became the god of fanboys. Crystal skull is diabolical due to the "fridge scene". And thats just one of the reasons. And it's ftw. If you look through rose-tinted glasses yes it's worse, but looking at it through shit-stainded contact lense (yes from the inside) it's still diabolical and a sequel (if looked at as a stand-alone movie) is like watching a sequel to "A Clock-work Orange" (a film so terrible I want to gut people who pretend to like it.)

Not to risk undoing my rant but I love the first 3. No archaeology involved btw, but it was from the era of explosions and stop motion, plasticine effects. That can't compete today and thats why it should stay in the past. I mean it's like trying to bring Rambo, Die Hard or Rocky back... wait say WHAT!

sorry to say but Lucas is still a legit director, you've more than proved my point about how you don't understand what he was doing nor what he has said about any of his movies.

oh as for the fridge thing, hmmm out running a boulder, jumping out of an airplane in a life raft and living wasn't on the same level of unbelievability? like i've said why not go compare what happens in the newer movie and the original ones, you'll notice a lot of similar things he survives.

oh and no archaeology? you haven't even bothered watching the first one have you? i'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch of it in there. something about a dig site in the desert but i might be wrong.


as for A Clockwork Orange, the only issue with it is the ending and that was due to the version of the book Stanley had at the time. other than that it's pretty spot on compared to the book and dead bang on if you read the American version, the UK version has an extra chapter at the end

Just because they made a knowing CHOICE to move the series to the '50s. The biggest sole gripe i have is with the stupid childish stuff that jumped in from Star Wars, the stretching stupid snake scene, ruining an old joke, herding monkeys and double taking gophers. Personally, i quite liked the first part of the film, and it got steadily worse, i forgave the blast survive as license and it started off like it could be going somewhere. But along came this saved precious storyline Lucas had pulled from some of the TV series, the Crystal Skull was a boring, clichéd development, and Aliens, something Spielberg went on the record originally saying was a bad idea but gave in to Lucas

An utterly and totally forgettable nemesis, Indy is essentially a passenger for the entire thing, and Marion is reduced to the level of a lady one step away from re-homing hordes cats as a profession. I know Indy is supposed to be a rompy kinda style, unbelievable, but they took away the magic with uninspired enemies, on an uninspired quest, with uninspiring action which actually verged on boring and totally idiotic.

I also wasn't a fan of the jump from mysticism to science fiction, essentially.

I joked in the cinema when gophers came out from what appeared to the the mountain in Close Encounters, saying 'I bet this one is about Aliens'. I turned out to be right.

Baaaahaaasically... a failure on almost the same level as the Matrix Sequels. Joyless.

stretching snake? ummmm do you know how long pythons, boas and anacondas can get? my friend has a couple snakes that are well over 6 feet long. some jungle snakes get to be 15 feet long. so it's not a stretch really and they've used that joke in every Indy movie.

as for the animals, look at the elephants in Temple of Doom and the monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark, they do some pretty odd and funny things. as for a prairie dog, they aren't gophers, doing a double take, that's not to much of a stretch for them.

Marion in the first one was much the same that she was in the new one. she always got into trouble and the same goes for any of the women in the series.

all the things in the newer one have been in the older ones, just in different forms.

You know, I consider myself open minded and if the 5th movie avoids aliens, I will probably go see it, if it stays true to its roots and has some fun action in it it will be a decent way to cross out Crystal Skull. I don't know why Lucas wanted to add aliens to Indy, it would be like explaining the force as a scientific phenomenon and not some quasi religious thing. Imagine if some asshole in Star Wars tried to say that the force were caused by itty bitty bacteria and that Anakin built C-3PO... wait... FFFFUUUUUU-

*Takes meds*

Alright they could also just completely fuck with the next movie and have Indy travel into the future only to find that an army of Adolf Hitlers have taken over the world and he has to steal the Arc of the Covenant to blast the Nazis back to hell and take on the super Hitler which is powered by the Holy Grail. And then he and Hitler get into a swordfight at the end as other Hitler clones surround him, and hitler opens the arc and the nazis die. Tell me you wouldn't see that movie just for the WTF factor.

Yeah well. That was back in the day when I was about 8 years old and honest to god MORTIFIED by the incredible melting nazi.

Then they made Indiana Jones 4. :C It went downhill from there.
